Emily VanDyke / Amy Wirtz's Story

Growing up, I’ve had the privilege of watching my mom take on an incredible challenge of running in the MS Run the US relay in 2013-2015, and 2018. Over those four years, she ran more than 1,000 miles and raised over $80,000 to fight multiple sclerosis. Watching her dedication has been nothing short of inspiring and now, it’s my turn.

In 2026, I’ll be lacing up my shoes to continue what she started. Together, we’re honored to be MS Run the US’s first-ever mother-daughter team, running Segment 5 of the relay. We’ll cover 157 miles in just 6 days from Milford, Utah to Spanish Fork, Utah. 

We are running for everyone affected by multiple sclerosis. MS attacks the central nervous system, damaging the protective covering of nerves and causing life-altering symptoms. There’s no cure yet, which is why awareness, advocacy, and funding are so important. This journey is about more than running. It’s about making a difference and we’re ready to go the distance to help END MS.
